Be Part of Our Legacy

As we celebrate two decades of serving the poor in Eastern Europe, we invite you to be a part of our cherished legacy. A decade ago, we placed a Time Capsule in the garden at the BOL Home in Brosteni, preserving memories and stories from 2003.

This December, we’ll unveil this treasure trove, and we extend a heartfelt invitation to all our ministry friends, whether you’ve been with us for a short while or longer. Send us a photo of your family or church group and perhaps a letter, too. Your contributions, big or small, are the threads of the legacy we’re weaving for our children.

New ParagraphIn the spirit of “Eben Ezer,” this Time Capsule is a testament to God’s unwavering provision through His active church. Join us in leaving your mark for the next decade.


Your stories and images will be a living testament to God’s faithfulness and love. We can’t wait to preserve your impact for the future. Send your contributions to BOL-Ministries@gmail.com. Thank you for being a part of this remarkable journey.


“Teach us to number our days,

that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” 

Psalm 90:12 (NIV)

Child with shoebox gift

The Joy Giving Brings

By BOL Team • September 24, 2026
There is something special about watching a child open a Christmas gift.  I have had the privilege of watching children receive Christmas shoeboxes many times over the years, but the excitement never gets old.

For some of these children, receiving a gift is not something they expect. They didn't earn it. They didn't do anything to deserve it. Someone they may never meet chose to give because they wanted that child to experience the joy of Christmas. Perhaps that is one reason these moments touch me so deeply.

The Story Behind the BOL Christian Center

By BOL Team • September 24, 2026
What Is the BOL Christian Center? Some dreams start small. Ours started as an impossible one — a home in Bucharest where teenagers from broken, poverty stricken backgrounds could finally have a stable place to live, grow, and become who God made them to be. 

From Hopelessness to a Purpose and Direction in Life

By Luminita Panican BOL -YTP Coordinator • September 24, 2026
At the beginning of the journey, the word that best described these kids was helplessness.

Behind their eyes lay realities too heavy for any child to carry: a girl who had to find her courage within an abusive family, and boys who grew up without the warm embrace of a mother. For them, education and finishing school seemed like a distant dream.
